For its part, the EU will benefit from Israeli research and technology, which is widely believed to surpass the capabilities of many EU member states.<\/p>\n<p>But Israeli participation in Horizon 2020 became jeopardized after the EU politicized the project by linking it to the Arab-Israeli conflict.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/LexUriServ\/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:C:2013:205:FULL:EN:PDF\" target=\"_blank\">new EU directive<\/a>\u2014the long title is \u201cGuidelines on the Eligibility of Israeli Entities and their Activities in the Territories Occupied by Israel since June 1967 for Grants, Prizes and Financial Instruments funded by the EU from 2014 Onwards\u201d\u2014forbids EU organizations and institutions from funding or cooperating with any Israeli entities based in Judea and Samaria, eastern Jerusalem or the Golan Heights.<\/p>\n<p>The directive\u2014which was published on July 19, 2013 and will take effect on January 1, 2014\u2014includes a requirement that all future agreements between the EU and Israel include a clause in which Israel accepts the EU position that none of the territory beyond the Green Line belongs to Israel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe EU does not recognize Israel\u2019s sovereignty over any of the territories, and does not consider them to be part of Israel\u2019s territory,\u201d according to the guidelines.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/soerenkern.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/eu-israel-horizon2020.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5389\" src=\"https:\/\/soerenkern.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/eu-israel-horizon2020-1024x759.jpg\" alt=\"eu-israel-horizon2020\" width=\"1024\" height=\"759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soerenkern.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/eu-israel-horizon2020-1024x759.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/soerenkern.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/eu-israel-horizon2020-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/soerenkern.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/eu-israel-horizon2020.jpg 1161w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Up until now, Israeli officials have <a href=\"http:\/\/euobserver.com\/foreign\/120886\" target=\"_blank\">rejected the directive<\/a> as untenable and have refused to sign any new agreements with the EU which include such a clause, based on the premise that to do so would be to forgo any future claims on the disputed territories.<\/p>\n<p>But the EU has remained adamant that Israel\u2019s participation in Horizon 2020 be subject to its new funding directive.<\/p>\n<p>The EU\u2019s foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, has faced <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gatestoneinstitute.org\/3986\/europe-anti-israel-anti-semitic\" target=\"_blank\">mounting pressure<\/a> not to concede to any of Israel\u2019s demands.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"http:\/\/euobserver.com\/media\/src\/4c40b1978f20e2f5d0e0aadfca89e13d.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">September 16 letter<\/a> addressed to Ashton and the foreign ministers of the 28 EU member states, 15 members of the so-called European Eminent Persons Group expressed \u201cgreat concern\u201d at attempts to \u201cdelay, modify or even suspend the European Commission guidelines on funding of Israeli entities in the territories occupied by Israel since June 1967.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The letter\u2014signed by longtime Israel critics including former EU foreign policy chief and NATO secretary-general Javier Solana, former French foreign minister Hubert V\u00e9drine, and former Spanish foreign minister Miguel \u00c1ngel Moratinos\u2014argued that the \u201cstrict application\u201d of the guidelines \u201cserves to reiterate that the EU does not recognize and will not support settlements and other illegal facts on the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On November 22, Pierre Vimont, an assistant to Ashton, sent a letter to the Israeli Foreign Ministry rejecting most of the proposed Israeli compromise language regarding the Horizon 2020 agreement.<\/p>\n<p>The EU turned down Israel\u2019s demand to remove the new guidelines and also demanded that the agreement include an \u201cattachment\u201d stating that the agreement\u2019s conditions do not prevent the European Commission, the EU\u2019s administrative body, from implementing the guidelines on the so-called settlements.<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli Foreign Ministry said the EU position breaches oral understandings between both sides and backtracks on positions that the EU stated during bilateral talks.<\/p>\n<p>The EU also rejected Israel\u2019s demand to remove a clause prohibiting the indirect funding of agencies that operate in the settlements. The EU said it was unwilling to back down on the issue.<\/p>\n<p>After weeks of fruitless negotiations with the EU, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu decided at an urgent meeting on November 24 that a way needed to be found to enable Israel\u2019s participation in the Horizon program.<\/p>\n<p>Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman and Deputy Foreign Minister Ze\u2019ev Elkin both warned that Israel should not give in to should not give in to EU \u201carm-twisting.\u201d According to Lieberman, signing the agreement would have meant \u201csurrender\u201d to the European Union.<\/p>\n<p>But with the deadline for signing onto Horizon 2020 less than a week away, Netanyahu directed Justice Minister Tzipi Livni to clinch a deal.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201ccompromise\u201d hashed out by Livni on November 26 involves two clauses in the Horizon agreement.<\/p>\n<p>One clause relates to the EU\u2019s demand that an appendix be attached to the Horizon agreement stating that the contract will be subject to the new EU funding restrictions, i.e., that the EU is entitled to block funding to any Israeli entities operating in territories claimed by the Palestinians.<\/p>\n<p>In the compromise formula, Israel agrees to EU demands that the above-mentioned appendix will indeed be attached to the Horizon 2020 agreement. In exchange, Israel will attach its own appendix to the agreement in which it declares that it objects to the EU guidelines. The Israeli objections cannot, however, prevent the EU from implementing its funding ban.<\/p>\n<p>The second clause relates to the establishment of a verification mechanism to ensure that no EU money makes its way into the so-called Palestinian territories.<\/p>\n<p>On this clause, the two sides agree that any Israeli entity that operates within the Green Line can apply for European loans, provided that Israel and the EU establish a verification system to ensure that any monies these Israeli entities receive will be invested solely within the Green Line.<\/p>\n<p>Critics of the deal say it amounts to a de facto EU boycott of Israeli institutions.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the deal means that <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ariel_University\" target=\"_blank\">Ariel University<\/a>, which is based in the West Bank, will not be eligible for EU grant money. It remains unclear how the deal will affect <a href=\"http:\/\/new.huji.ac.il\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hebrew University in Jerusalem<\/a>, a leading research university, which has dormitories in an East Jerusalem neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>According to Livni, \u201cThe agreement fully respects the EU\u2019s legal and financial requirements while at the same time respecting Israel\u2019s political sensitivities and preserving its principled positions. The agreement will allow Israel\u2019s scientific community to benefit from one of the most important EU programs and facilitate its further integration into the European space of research and innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu has been under pressure from Israel\u2019s academic and research community to find a way to join Horizon 2020, which is essential to preserving Israel\u2019s status as a high-tech powerhouse.<\/p>\n<p>The president of the Israel Academy of Sciences and the Humanities, <a href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/news\/articles\/SB10001424052702303281504579222534127910404\" target=\"_blank\">Professor Ruth Arnon<\/a> has said that Israel\u2019s participation in the program as \u201cabsolutely essential to the future of science in Israel.\u201d According to Arnon, \u201cNot signing it, will be an irreversible and disastrous failure for Israeli science and the entire country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"SoerenKern.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.soerenkern.com\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Soeren Kern<\/em><\/a><em> is a Senior Fellow at the New York-based <\/em><a title=\"Gatestone Institute\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gatestoneinstitute.org\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Gatestone Institute<\/em><\/a><em>.
